The Iowa Supreme Court ruled today that employers can fire employees towards whom they have an "irresistible attraction," irrespective of the latter's workplace conduct.

The 7-0 decision, handed down by the all-male court, came about as a result of a lawsuit filed by married dental assistant Melissa Nelson, 32, against her boss of ten years, Dr. James Knight, D.D.S., alleging gender discrimination.

She claimed Knight fired her at the behest of his wife, who became jealous of their out-of-office relationship, which included the exchange of personal, yet innocuous texts.

Knight readily admits that he fired Nelson, whom he said was the best dental assistant he'd ever had, after consulting with his pastor, because he found her tight-fitting clothes distracting and he felt his marriage was in jeopardy.

According to court documents, Knight — described by his lawyer as "a very religious and moral individual" — once told Nelson the bulge in his pants was an indication that her clothes were too revealing. He also informed Nelson's husband that he had to fire Nelson out of fear that he might try and sleep with her.

Nelson said in her suit that she had no interest in having an affair with the 53-year-old Knight, whom she saw as a father figure.

Still, Justice Edward Mansfield, writing the court's opinion [pdf], concluded that no unlawful discrimination had taken place because Knight's actions were "motivated by feelings and emotions" and concern for his marriage rather than gender.

Nelson's attorney Paige Fiedler strongly disagrees.

"These judges sent a message to Iowa women that they don't think men can be held responsible for their sexual desires and that Iowa women are the ones who have to monitor and control their bosses' sexual desires," Fiedler told the Associated Press. "If they get out of hand, then the women can be legally fired for it."

Funny how you think a Guy should be miserable and let his jealous wife clean him out via divorce over an easily replaceable Employee...glad to see the courts agree with me.

If his wife is gonna divorce him for working with an attractive woman, it was his mistake to marry the cuntbag in the first place and he's getting a "Get Away From Crazy Bitch Free" card. Not to mention that he hired the woman. Why should she be fired?

I am guessing when the court finds out they agree with you that will be enough to overturn the decision

Are you really that naive? Women get jealous, most are crazy...combine age with getting fat and an attractive younger Co worker is a recipe for disaster.

Then why hire her in the first place?

And ThisGuy is such a moral individual that he was contemplating committing adultery.

You're right. It happened in Australia when I kicked Cindy Sargon out of my hotel room right after I blew my load on her tits. That was the money shot! :lol:

So if you start a business, and you're uncomfortable with someone you hired, you have to keep them no matter what. For how long? Forever?

This is ridiculous. The guy is married and felt it was inappropriate to have a hot young girl hanging around him all day. He doesn't have that right, to make his workplace how he wants it to be? What else do you want the courts to be able to force us to do?

Have any of you ever hired anyone? Are you married? Would your wife love the idea of you spending more time than you spend with her, with a hotter younger women, in close quarters? And if you love your wife, would you want that?

I guess I'm asking the wrong people.

She was asking for it. Look at how she was dressed.

She should be hired for life, and 45 year old men should get jobs serving at Hooters...and 66 year old women should not be denied a job as a fireman. :roll:

That makes no sense. Nobody said she couldn't do the job. He said she was the best hygenist he's ever had.

I'm glad that in America we can fire people for no other reason than they make the boss uncomfortable.

There's an episode of Seinfeld kinda like this. With one Tim Whatley. But I think the patients were the ones in jeopardy.
